Lament For Lane Graves

Lulled by the lazy lagoon Memories carved at the beach Fated familial platoon Lulled by the lazy lagoon Gator snatched the toddler of June Dad could not transcend the breach Lulled by the lazy lagoon Memories carved at the beach/center>

Kim, since all the rains and flooding here it has brought all these creatures out of their environment so everyone is being careful. But to go on vacation for fun :( I am writing on here because I am not getting peoples responses when I comment. Hugs

I understand, Eve! I had to take deep breaths. It is such a poignant write. Such a sad week for Orlando, so many things we all relate to. Poetry helps to let the feelings out. My granddaughters were around that lagoon this past year.
